After Mother’s Confession Inspired Directorial Debut, Shaquille O’Neal Exposes Evil $156,000,000 Worth Plan to Ruin 76ers Legend’s TNT Return

The NBA season is starting, which means the Inside Guys are suiting up for the TNT studios. It also means more Shaq vs Chuck! Shaquille O’Neal is channeling his inner Bond villain, ready to pull out the silliest of pranks for his nemesis on their first day back to work. However, we’re not very confident about Shaq’s evil career if he’s exposing his plans prematurely.

He’s staying on brand too. It was Charles Barkley who pointed that Shaq only gifts stuff he’s promoting. So he’s got a special gift for his best frenemy to commemorate his new career.

Shaquille O’Neal reveals his next prank for Charles Barkley

NBA on TNT will begin with a bang thanks to the Inside the NBA crew. Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley will once again batter with Ernie Johnson and Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith caught in the crossfire. The world is going to be right again. But tipping the balance are Shaq’s evil schemes, involving a $156 million brand.

The main drawback of his plan is that he’s already revealed it. Now a frequent user of Threads, Big Diesel unveiled his prank on his official page.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend shared a picture of Icy Hot pain relief cream on a toothbrush and wrote, “this is what i’m a do to charles barkley when we get back to @nbaontnt.”

We can hear O’Neal’s evil laughter in that post. Chuck’s going to be double-checking his toothpaste and shaving creams for a long time now.

It’s no coincidence Shaq picked the particular image with Icy Hot’s product. It is a brand that he’s partnered with over 18 years, since he was still an NBA pro.

He’s not only endorsed Icy Hot, but he’s also supported children’s charities with the parent company.

Charles Barkley once complained that Shaq doesn’t put any thought into his presents. “Shaquille O’Neal will just give me stuff he’s endorsing,” the Philadelphia 76ers claimed. However, this prank carries a lot of context from O’Neal’s childhood.

Shaq’s mom indirectly aids prank

After a multi-faceted entertainment career, Shaquille O’Neal gets to call himself a director now too.

He makes his creative debut by directing the series of commercials of Icy Hot’s pain relief line just for kids. It’s a cause close to Shaq who endured literal growing pains in his formative years. “My mom always says I’m just a big kid,” Big Aristole disclosed with one of the commercials he directed.

Also starring in his own directorial venture, Shaq turned himself into a bobblehead inspired by his mom’s nagging.

Like the oversized kid he is, Shaq has come up with a prank using his favorite product. We’ll have to wait and see if Barkley gets a mouthful of Icy Hot pain relief cream or he’s the one laughing at O’Neal. What do you think about Shaq’s sinister schemes?
